I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.

These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.

As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process.

For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.

The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.

I mean whatever I do it's important that I put my stamp on it and keep it in my world, whether I'm doing a dance track or something like the Russian album for example.

I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.

As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.

I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.

I have enough love to last me a lifetime! Thank God I'll never lose my imagination and my passion. That's really what it is. I'm still passionate about what I do.

I am a fosterer of animals.

I skipped ninth grade. I went from eighth to tenth, and then I graduated a year early to start working, and it was a big blessing for me because I was not a school person, although I really do miss having that kind of environment.

Golf is flexibility, and I notice more guys injured. You can overdo this conditioning.

Comfort is your biggest trap and coming out of comfort zone your biggest challenge.

It is said that those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. It may well be that a war neurosis stirred up by propaganda of fear and hatred is the prelude to destruction.

There's always something suspect about an intellectual on the winning side.

I wanted to create a heroine that was flawed. I wanted her to be a real person. She's selfish, she's childish, she's immature and because I'm doing a three-book arc I really played that up in the first book. I wanted the reader to be annoyed with her at times.

I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there, doing my own thing... getting back to reality.

I have a candle permanently on my Jacuzzi because I love me some candles.

It's important my daughters learn from the hard work my wife and I put into this company. Who better to look out for your best interests than family?

I am glad. I am now an Olympic medallist.

War... is harmful, not only to the conquered but to the conqueror.

Whether it's being a leading man, making TV shows, being with my family, I've learned a lot.

I believe that democracy is about values before it is about voting. These values must be nurtured within society and integrated into the electoral process itself.

I don’t run to add days to my life, I run to add life to my days.

I had someone call me this morning telling me they had somebody who would only work a certain number of hours a week because if they worked too many hours a week then they couldn't get their government assistance. And that person has multiple cell phones, and gets them new every month with new minutes.

I'm really focused on my research almost 100 percent. That, and my family and kids.

I believe this Emperador Distillers investment in Whyte & Mackay is good for the Philippines as a whole, not only beneficial to our business.

My mother and father were supportive. But in an Italian family, you kind of work with your hands, or you are an engineer or a doctor. But an actor was something they couldn't get hold of. They were afraid I wouldn't be able to make a living, and for many years, they were right.

Charity begins at home.

Jewel of life, guiding light, heralding a joyous new dawn.

In Rio de Janeiro, every cop has to make a choice. He either turns dirty, keeps his mouth shut, or goes to war.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the brightest light and the only hope for this darkened world.
